Hi Folks,
Not tooo much done on the whacker as of late but I do still have it. Finally after putting the correct gas and oil mixture in the tank, I had my stepdad try and start it for me since he is stronger than I am and it ran at a high whine for about 30 seconds. I let it sit for a few weeks then I dug it out again at the end of March 2 weeks before my kidney transplant surgery, and I took off the primer bulb because it was brown and cracked so I figured maybe thats my problem. That said I will have to order one, put it in, put some seafoam in the tank again, fill the tank some more with my gas and oil mixture, and see what happens after that. If anyone else has any other ideas, I am all ears.

The small engine place by me has racks of primer bulbs for the most common equip right out front next to the main counter.

Thank you for posting those Nick, I checked on both Amazon and Ebay and I saw those too. But I only need the one for this machine, as I won’t have any other machines to put the other ones onto and I want to try and save as much money as possible on this machine so I can hopefully eventually sell it and actually make some money on it instead of putting myself deeper in the hole. Thanks again though
I did get these below from TSC awhile ago figuring they can work, but the original bulb on the whacker itself is one piece from what I can tell and won’t come apart…. but I will have to fiddle with it some more first to see if it will come apart before I go buying another bulb I don’t need. I will update everyone at a later date….
I have a TSC and an Ace Hardware pretty close to me in my state but I never heard of a Runnings before, although I looked it up and they have one an hour and 20 minutes away from me.
